Another Obama Record!… The Average Age of US Car on the Road Is 10.8 Years

No it doesn't. It has a big electric drive motor with an abundance of tourque.

It's a 1.4 liter engine Dune. And since GM has notoriously inefficient engines for their size, I'm doubting the torque claim.

Wut you talkin 'bout Willis?

Insurance on an electric/hybrid is typically much higher (I've seen as high as 3.5x, but typically only about 2x), due to the newness of the tech. Typically minor accidents to a gasoline engine turn a hybrid engine/electric engine to scrap.

It is the same engine used in the Cruze & the Sonic.

And...?

The drive motor is electric. Electric motors have lots of tourqe.

The drive motor is electric. Electric motors have lots of torque.

The Volt electric drive motor has 150 HP and 273 foot-pounds of torque.

If you understand the difference between gas engines and electric motors, you realize that the Volt is a perfomance car.

Yeah, when I see that on a Dyno, I'll believe it. GM engines are notoriously inefficient.

And 150hp? Not performance.

The Volt is not a performance car. The Volt is a rolling joke, a $15,000 car with a $35,000 price tag. A wrong-wheel drive sedan with 150HP is not a performance car.

You do realize that 150HP electric is not the same as 150HP gas right?

 

[The Dude]

It's sumgs per mile, the volt rivals the prius in smuggability. Just get ready for gerbil speed after 100 miles. And buy a super long extension cord if you go on vacation.

Thanks for your valuable imput. Not.

 

[The Dude]

Dune troll have you driven one?
Why is a multi billion investment a complete flop?
Please buy one or drive one for a week away from Boston and report on it.

Have you ever considered a prefrontal?
